Stretched string
A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency …

81 SSM Figure 29-84 shows a cross section of an infinite conducting sheet carrying a current per unit x-length of 2; the current emerges perpendicularly out of the page. (a) Use the Biot-Savart law and symmetry to show that for all points B •P x B P'. Figure 29-84 Problem 81. P above the sheet and all points P' below it, the magnetic field B is parallel to the sheet and directed as shown. (b) Use Ampere's law to prove that B = ½µλ at all points P and P'.
